I am doing some research and plan to have a major discussion with my doctor re CBD. I would never smoke pot (anymore) but I am hearing good medical results for this CBD and it might be a far better alternative to predisone while I waiting for a biologic to work.

I use the rubs as well and it really helps the inflammation. If you get your license and then find a club to belong to for an inexpensive one time yearly fee then you can go in and they have all different vendors with different products and such and you just see what works best for you. I find the cream with Rick Simpson Oil or RSO for short works well it like using aspecreme but better it's all natrual and there is something called juicing and it has alot of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties but I have not tried it only heard about it.

i love topicals and i wish i knew which one you were talking about so i can try it too. Right now I use icy hot sprays or the walgreens brand when I need to. I also use tiger balm. I really liked deep heating but you can't get that around here anymore.

Suggest some CREDIBLE MEDICAL links to substantiate the claims.

I have a friend who has used it on injuries & chronic pain. She was happy with the results.
Don't get why it's not prescribed more over harmful addictive drugs.
Although I do feel pharmaceutical has more to loose if it does perform as well.
Sad that profits out weight quality of life.
I'm curious how many pain management docs would OK the use of topical alone.

I am sure it's strongly prohibited to use it without any prescriptions. I have made such a mistake once...

But I guess my mistake was another one. I used to consume marijuana a few times a day. After two and more years of using it, it was difficult for me to sleep and simply to live without its presence in my life. I didn't know how to end up with this awful dependency. But consuming https://www.koalitymedicinals.com/is-cbd-legal-in-alabama/ CBD has a medical effect, what is already proven. As they say, even pregnant women are able to consume it. It's rather strange for me... Do you think they can do it without any doctor's control? It would be interesting to hear your honest thoughts.

Since Trudeau legalized pot, it is very easy to get the CBD oil and the rubs in Canada.

I've been taking it at night, and I have noticed a bit of progress with less pain.

The only reason I see for not using CBD with RA, is if it is illegal where you live.
